I probably won't even watch the game tomorrow night . Some of you have posted we can't win because of the refs, Greg McElroy amongst other things... Maybe I will just watch the corn hole tournament...🫠

I am not one of those who buys this BVS excuse. I think it's a crutch for those who look at everything from a negative perspective. But I can't exactly say people are too crazy about the idea that Alabama gets help at home based on... well... many years of watching Alabama games plus the fact the last time we did win down there was 2003.

I hope to be surprised.

Well folks, the last 15 hours have been nothing short of a whirlwind and chaos. Relief and joy.

Our second child decided last night was closing time. It was a terrifying experience *added details below, IF the spoiler feature works* but miracles happen and quick thinking by the doc saved everyone.

My second baby girl joined us topside at 12:22am ET, October 17th.

Which means her birthday will ALWAYS be celebrated on the Third Saturday In October.

Awesome news and congratulations. We've had "good luck babies" born prior to big games from other posters in this forum and we always came out on top. It is a sign.


WE ARE GOING TO WIN


GO VOLS

I just want us to reflect for a second on the fact that the Indiana Head Coach is the 3rd highest paid coach in the country now at 11.6 million dollars and 5 years ago he made $425,000 a year at James Madison. Oh, and it looks like James Madison didn't get too dinged by the players he took with him to Indiana as they are doing pretty well without him.

Everything Mark Cuban gives to that program is a tax write off.

Just last night a guy on Gators 247 put what looked like an enormous amount of time and research into finding threads from the Ole Miss site of fans laughing at Gators fans who thought they could hire away Lane Kiffin. He even went through and listed all kinds of statistics of success prior to NIL that was irrelevant and nearly everyone on the board gave him props. I wonder if that post finds its way to Message Board Geniuses soon. Someone should submit it.

Could this right here be the key stat to watch for a Tennessee win?

Tennessee QB Joey Aguilar has been a steady presence in the passing game for well beyond his time in Knoxville. He leads FBS in most consecutive games with at least 200 yards passing with 30. And if he's going to make it 31, he's going to have to become the first quarterback this season to do it to the Alabama defense.

The Crimson Tide defense has not allowed a 200-yard passer so far this season​

Alabama had a rough start to the season, getting pushed around by Florida State in a 31-17 loss. Despite surrendering 31 points, FSU QB Tommy Castellanos totaled just 152 yards passing.

However, that would not be a one-off for the Crimson Tide defense. In a 24-21 win at Georgia, Alabama held UGA QB Gunner Stockton to just 130 passing yards. Two weeks ago against Vanderbilt, Diego Pavia came close but finished with 198 yards through the air. Last week, Missouri QB Beau Pribula had a season-low 162 passing yards with 2 interceptions.

Lame is in the middle of contract negotiations on a new Ole Miss contract…

I still can't believe that Bama is crying and blaming Fulmer for the Albert Means debacle. Jackie Sherrill (Mississippi State), Houston Nutt (Arkansas) , RIp Scherer (Memphis), Jim Donnan (Georgia) and Phil Fulmer (Tennessee) all reported wrong doings to the NCAA. Stating Lynn Lang (Means' H.S. Coach) want $200K for Albert Means to play for a school.

But to this date there is zero accountability for wrongdoing by Bama in the eyes of their fans. It was all Phillip Fulmer's fault.
Lang brokered a deal with several Alabama boosters in the Memphis area where he received $30,000 from the boosters. The remaining $170K was paid after Means officially signed with Bama.
Lang demanded $6,000 in cash from a Kentucky booster in the presence of a Kentucky assistant coach Claude Bassett for Means to visit Kentucky.
In similar fashion Lang received $4,000 for each visit he arranged to Georgia and Alabama.
Jim Donnan gave Lang $700 out of pocket.
Rip Sherer promised free law school tuition.
Brad Lawing (Michigan State) said Lang demanded $200K to play at MSU, and that Lang would repay $50K that had already paid for Means.
Houston Nutt stated that Lang told his assistant coach that $200K was required to secure Means' enrollment.
Albert Means testified in Lang's trial that he never took the required standardized test for college admission. Means went on testify that Lang had another student take the test for him.
Federal Prosecutors provided evidence that Lang tried to sell Means to eight schools:
Alabama
Arkansas
Georgia
Kentucky
Memphis
Michigan State
Mississippi State
Tennessee
But because Fulmer testified, it's al his fault. Zero accountability for the Crimson Tide.

Whenever a bama fan bring up Fulmer I ask them one question. IF Fulmer had gone into Huntsville and outbid several schools (including bama) for a player, would you have wanted bama to turn him in to the NCAA? They simple walk off….
